When you get home, have a snack and then sit down and do it. NO phone, tv, computer or games in anticipation of it is done. It is a excellent habit to get into and to use when you are through school and out in the "real world" and have things that have to be done.
It is always a excellent feeling to get it done straight away and have the evening to yourself instead of waiting in anticipation of 9pm to start and feeling like it is taking over your whole life. Growing up, we had to have at least half of it done before dinner was ready or no fun on the weekend!
Just do it!
senioritise?
Reckon of graduating with a bang. I mean try really hard!
do what i do and just suck it up and do it. you have to do it, no matter if its now or last minute, so you might as well get it over with so you can take pleasure in your time without worrying about having to do it
Yes, stop thinking about it and just do it. Give yourself small rewards for every instance you do something on time.
Stick with the motivational quote i made up; " Just do it! Like nike and prostitutes."
‘Just Do It’…..no problem…..!!
i wonder the same business, right now im procrastinating, i should be doing my work right now instead of answering your question.. follow the nike brand logo JUST DO IT
I do that everyday. But today, I was thinking about how much Im going to procastinate and I said, NO NOT TODAY.
So I spent the whole day thinking: There is no way in hell youre getting near that computer. Youre going to do youre homework.
It worked pretty well (:

Hey, girl… you need to set a goal. That is, when you close your homework there is a reward for you, like a Popsicle or a sundae with a huge red cherry or maybe a KISS from a boyfriend!
Stop putting your fingers up there, you may close your homework.
allow yourself a certain amount of time to grab a bite to eat, get comfy, whatev.
When that time is up; just sit down and do it.
It’ll take you a week or two to get used to it, but repetition makes habit.
By just doing your work. No one can help you, because you have to learn how to help yourself first.
The quicker you get it done with; the less time you have to worry about it
One business I use is the application downloaded at macfreedom.com – it shuts off your internet for as long as you tell it to, say for 60 minutes, which allows you to get homework done without constantly checking yahoo or facebook. I’ve used it and I promise it hasn’t injured my computer at all, and it’s really helpful =]
Another business you could do would be to tell your parents to make you do your homework, or to not allow you to do anything else in anticipation of you close it all. It’s a small embarrassing, but I’m sure once you say that to your parents they will be really strict about letting you have free time in anticipation of they’ve seen you do everything. You could also tell them to confiscate your phone or computer or whatever in anticipation of you’ve finished everything.
You could get some homework done during school hours; if you do homework done in a study room where your friends aren’t there to distract you, you’ll get a lot done without having any distractions from tv or the internet (I’m assuming any sites you want to go on will be blocked by your school’s server).
You could also give yourself "rewards" for finishing homework. For example, when you close your math homework you get to eat a cookie. Or you could go the other way and forbid yourself to watch tv in anticipation of you’ve finished your math homework, then maybe give yourself a half hour of watching once you’ve finished it.
I hope this helps you =]
Do it tomorrow. Or maybe the next day. Or next week. That way you will have been able to reckon about it more.
You have to use the will power that already lies within you. See yourself earning a erudition or being really prepared for institution.
